This is incredible, just a year and a half after leaving Apple and launching their company with the cutest web site imaginable, the creators of Shortcuts are demoing an AI assistant that appears actually useful, and deeply integrated into your Mac.

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 -
I’ve faced down economic challenges before.
I’m ready to do it again. #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli

It's time for change!
We can't afford an eighth Poilievre term in parliament!

A pro-Poilievre misinformation campaign from the U.S. has been uncovered.

The Financial Times is reporting that thousands of fake accounts from the U.S. are boosting Poilievre and attacking Carney.

#Canadians are being bombarded on X, Facebook, and TikTok with U.S. misinformation.

Canada as you vote, here is a reminder of who the Trump, Musk, Netanyahu and Modi ally Pierre Poilievre really is. #cdnpoli

Until the Orange Juice King and his minions lick maple syrup off my boots, US products can burn in incinerators.

He threatened and continues to threaten invasion. Do you know how expensive a credible nuclear deterrent is going to be?

Screw'm.

The 30 permanent and 20 seasonal employees of Great Basin National Park serve 150,000 visitors a year, an industry which generates more than $10 million in visitor spending and is responsible for two-thirds of White Pine County's sales tax revenue. "Negative productivity" indeed.

Boris Kagarlitsky is a leftist economist languishing in a Russian prison. He stood up, as a rare voice, against the Yeltsin-era privatisations that begat the current oligarchy. A prison cell was his reward. If on 19 April you are in Milwaukee, come to this event. Free Boris!

Just like a bunch of tech ghouls to reinvent the Great Leap Forward but dumber.

If you ever meet someone spouting this nonsense, just ask what steps they’re taking to prepare their kids for mining careers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Did you know that the Mediterranean used to be a big salt lake, blurring the geographical distinction between Europe and Africa? This changed during one of many great floods…

They never don't look painfully stupid

“Why isn’t there an app for that? That’d be easy!”

Usually this is an ignorant statement. But when @kejames.bsky.social made this comment in a thread and my gut and snarky instinct was to look up the API and explain why it’s not easy, I discovered that…it is easy. They had a fantastic idea!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 You'll all know of Scotland's mythical Loch Ness monster, but have you heard of the Giant Cats of Dunbar?

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill.

Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Not in Alberta I recently read an article about whooping cranes, Foster parent plan proposed for whoopers (JOURNAL, Aug 21) in which you said Fort Smith was located in Alberta. Well I would like to tell you Fort Smith just happens to be in the NWT. I know this because I was born there and it used to be the capital of the Northwest Territories.

It’s borderline criminal.

"A whole new level of cruelty": Health experts decry "devastating" cuts to HIV treatment programs The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation said the latest cuts will deprive 350,000 people of HIV treatment.

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action.

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

Micheál Martin and Simon Harris appear at odds over housing policy Mr Harris said he would not be in favour of abolishing rent controls, contrary to what Taoiseach Micheál Martin had said on the issue

www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic... #Ireland #housing Harris wants things to rain same, Martin want a bigger role for vulture funds and pension funds ie keep asset values inflated, create divisions btwn old and the young while trouncing renters. Bleak future for the young

Taoiseach signals major policy shift on housing with possible end to rent pressure zones and more reliance on private sector Micheál Martin has said the State needs to ‘pivot’ to encourage more private investment in the housing market

They think they can get away with this shite and we'll just be grateful they aren't neo-Nazis. They aren't even pretending like this will help anyone apart from the wealthy
